Cathedral of St. Nicholas, Orthodox cathedral in Mozhaysk, Russia
The Cathedral of St. Nicholas stands on Sobornaya Hill within the Mozhaysk Kremlin, featuring Russian pseudo-Gothic architecture with prominent stone walls and towers.
The cathedral, established in 1779, replaced an earlier 14th-century structure and incorporated materials from the dismantled fortress walls of Mozhaysk during its construction.
Regular Sunday school sessions at the cathedral accommodate over 80 students who learn about Orthodox traditions, church singing, and Christian fundamentals.
The cathedral maintains a substantial library of 8,000 volumes and conducts adult education classes three times weekly, focusing on scripture and church history.
French forces during the 1812 invasion burned the cathedral's interior icons, though local residents managed to save several sacred objects from destruction.
